2020 was still very young when it sprang on us a very nasty surprise, CORONAVIRUS

 All of sudden plans had to be scrapped, schedules were upended and we had to learn, very quickly, to live with an invisible threat under unprecedented circumstances.

But with the whole world locking down, it was absolutely vital to keep goods and commodities moving, and this meant that you, the mariners, had to be once more at the forefront.

Despite the anxiety about your loved ones health, you had to ensure that business continued as usual.

Despite being severely affected and literally stuck on board because of the lockdowns in ports, closure of airports, the cancellation of flights.

At the same time you had to keep your focus on maintaining the safety, quality and environmental standards onboard at the high levels, which you yourselves had established.

You did it and continue doing it in an outstanding manner and we wholeheartedly thank you for that.
